Queen Beatrix International Airport

The Queen Beatrix International Airport in Aruba was a pleasant surprise, as we were not expecting such a modern airport when we got there. The airport is located in Oranjestad and was named after the Dutch Queen and the Aruban Head of State which we thought was interesting.
The airport was bigger than we thought and catered for many flights throughout the day.

Really? What makes it so special and modern in your opinion?

The airport was definitely better than when I went to Jamaica or Belize. I think the amount of tourism is really helping pay for the facility

Ouch! I wonder how Jamaica and Belize would react if they read this thought of yours.

It seems that Queen Beatrix is a first class airport. Is it one of the biggest airport in the world as well? The services will be first class as well. I can't wait to see this one.

One of the biggest airports? How large is it? Do you know?

How big is the airport? I'm just curious as to how modern it is. I hope the site would be able to provide a picture of this one. What could be its difference from the rest of the airports in Aruba?

Isnt there only one airport in aruba? which may be why it is so nice.

And i think aruba is doing better financially than jamaica and belize as a whole

I have been to a different kinds of airport however, not to a world class airport. Aruba really deserved the awards they received. I am a bit excited to know, how huge could it be? :rolleyes:
